Aidan Baker - Still Life

This Toronto native has been recording and releasing music for over a decade, amassing a staggering catalog as a solo artist, in numerous collaborations with musicians such as Tim Hecker, Thisquietarmy, Z’EV, and Jakob Thiesen, as well as a member of the groups Nadja, ARC, Whisper Room, Mnemosyne, and Infinite Light Ltd.Recorded in the winter of 2010 at Commonweath Studios in Toronto, Still Life is a departure from the sound Baker is most known for, as it features no guitar, no distortion, and no drone. Still Life is an album with Baker performing only on piano, drums, and upright bass, charting the un-navigated waters somewhere between Bohren and Blue Note.Aidan Baker has easily become one of my personal favorites. Each release he puts out hits it out of the ballpark every time. I believe he has also established himself in the hearts of many others who spend their hours getting lost in fluid drones too. – Dave Miller, Foxy Digitalis. His extensive collection of quality albums props him up exactly where he deserves to be. – Rasputin, Sputnik Music Aidan Baker is proving to be both a great collaborator and a master of the long-form, ambient soundscape. – Greg Argo, Delusions of Adequacy.
